Where water meets energy 🔋
In a conversation with CNBC’s Dan Murphy, HE Abdulla Balalaa explored the critical link between water and finance, drawing on the UAE’s experience in strengthening energy resilience and diversifying its energy mix.
As countries diversify their energy mix and accelerate the shift to cleaner energy, water is becoming an increasingly important part of the equation. From power generation to industrial production, reliable water supplies and resilient infrastructure underpin the systems that keep economies running.
“Energy resilience is a key word for us in the UAE, but also at the same time we’re introducing new strategies on how we can reduce the reliance on any source, or straight, or strategy in place.”
This interconnected challenge reinforces the need for integrated planning, cross-sector collaboration, and investment across resilient water and energy infrastructure — a key conversation as we look ahead to the Conference this December.
